As many as 83 workers at an eastern Snyder County power plant may be out of work for two months, beginning in September.
Jeff Specht, plant manager at Sunbury Generation, said cool summer weather cut energy consumption, causing wholesale electric prices to fall and likely remain deflated over the coming months.
The plant has seen significant lows during its peak power producing months of June, July and August, Specht said. While normally, everyone is turning on air conditioners, this summer, with record low temperatures, was an exception. (Daily Item)
